sustainer fins are made out of a sandwich construction of plywood and
fiberglass. Three layers of 7.5 oz glass are sandwiched between two layers of 1/8" plywood. Each layer of glass is orientated 45 degrees
from the others. |

Two sheets of
flywood were made at the same time. Cinder blocks were set upon a
1/2" sheet of birch plywood. This 1/2" sheet applied and equal
pressure to all layer while the epoxy cured. |

 |
After leaving the
cinder blocks set for 48 hours, they were removed. |

Here you can see
the two sheets of flywood set standing up. Note the excess fiberglass
extending out from the two layers. |
